Kubba Residence

Typology Residential
Location Los Angeles, California
Design Phase 2024
Size 8,200 SF

Perched along Mulholland Drive, the Kubba Residence responds directly to its steep hillside topography through a sharp, triangular plan structured around a protected central courtyard. The home’s exterior pairs tactile shingle cladding, smooth board-formed concrete, and crisp blackened metal accents, creating an angular silhouette that nestles into the ridge.

Form & Materiality

Internally, the primary living volumes peel open through expansive Fleetwood glazing, dissolving the distinction between interior living and the landscape. The central courtyard serves as both private oasis and thermal anchor—complete with an open-air lap pool, integrated trellis, sunken fire pit, and framed vistas stretching across the canyons.

—Level 01 Plan

Inside, a sculptural blackened-steel center divider anchors the great room, harmonizing with warm rift-cut white oak casework, stone finishes, and skylit corridors that draw daylight deep into both living spaces and the lower wellness and garage levels.
